If you're a fan of the Bioshock series then you have undoubtedly heard all the recent announcements regarding Bioshock 2, and subsequently you have been sitting in your living room contemplating how to create a device that allows you to a) teleport you into a future in which BioShock 2 has already been released or b) cryogenically freeze yourself until that point when the game store dudes call you to pick up your pre order.
For alot of us the recent announcements about BioShock 2's addition of multiplayer have left us considerably conflicted. On the one hand you have a history in Rapture that has been so deeply etched out that sheer thought of the development team spending time on multiplayer features and not on the creation of a convincing sequel is enough to send you into a BioShock! However on the other hand you know that running around with magnum in hand and a plasmid rage coming on, in a multiplayer underwater blitzkreig is definitely going to get the blood pumping.
One of the most popular video game franchises of all time is set to receive a Netflix film adaptation, according to an announcement on Tuesday afternoon.
Gee...can't wait to see how many things they change and stray away from, oh don't forget the miscast actors
Netflix did well with Dare Devil and the Punisher and I hear the Witcher is pretty good I know when I had Netflix at the time Stranger Things was also good. But Bioshock I love the franchise Bioshock Infinite is my favorite game I would pay the $21 Canadian just to check out Bioshock. Normally I would never renew my Netflix after they did their price hike but Bioshock would be worth it.
Love Bioshock but I'll prepare myself for the likelihood this will be both crap and a pale imitation of the source material. That covers most video game adaptations and Netflix films.
The best games are able to create a never-before-seen setting and weave a completely engaging story into its DNA. One series beats almost all others out for its environmental storytelling and narrative: BioShock.
Hurts to see the word "worst" related to Bioshock saga.
The 3 games are masterpieces.
oh great. Can’t wait to see the posts of game titles in a ranked order without context as to why.
In a podcast with Wassup Conversations, Jordan Thomas, director and the writer of BioShock 2 reveals his initial ideas for a new rapture and how they were shut down by 2K.
"My first proposal was about a little sister, it was playing as a little sister and it was much more horror-oriented pace and about vulnerability, closer to Thief frankly, but I was told no, we want it to be our Gears of War, this need to be a big shooter franchise with an emphasis on the shooter element, and so what I think of the protagonist of a shooter as is a big lumbering sort of porthole on a stick with guns sticking out in front like you’re almost a vehicle."
And he also wanted it to be above the sea or in space. What a wasted opportunity.
It's surprising the game turned out to be good with this guy at the helm. The combat mechanics were actually the biggest improvement in the sequel as much as he wouldn't want to hear that, everything else was inferior.
is the likely outcome based on your story. Interesting read Kesalin, I'll be curious to see how your theory turns out..
mmm interesting. Really looking forward to Bioshock 2 actually, except the multiplayer isn't really doing anything for me...
I was also bored by the idea of a multiplayer just tacked on the Bioshock's single player mode, but after reading that theMP may have a story line backing and a reason for being, it peaked my interest.
I guess we'll find out more in the coming months..
